A frustrated Reddit user sought advice on dealing with her invasive mother-in-law (MIL). Discovering her MIL rifling through bills in her bedroom, the woman installed keyed doorknobs to keep her out. When the MIL persisted, the woman devised a glitter trap as revenge. Despite her husband’s initial disbelief, the trap worked when the MIL ignored warnings and entered the forbidden room, resulting in a glitter shower.
The MIL, outraged, accused the woman of going too far and claimed the glitter ruined her car. The husband sided with his mother, sparking a family conflict. Seeking validation, the woman asked if her revenge was justified or excessive, prompting a divided response from the online community.
